When Check Source Curr. Consistency is enabled in General Ledger Setup, posting a sales order with a payment method and a payment discount produces a cash (payment) G/L entry whose Source Currency Amount does not equal its Amount. The mismatch is already visible in Preview Posting, before anything is posted.
The cause appears to be a Microsoft bug in standard Business Central code, which has also been reported on the Business Central community forum. No standard fix exists yet.
A correction has been made on Acumens Starter-Pack app so that the Source Currency Amount matches the Amount on the cash movement.
In a local-currency transaction (no Currency Code), every G/L entry is expected to carry a Source Currency Amount equal to its Amount. For the payment entry on the cash account, the standard posting routine instead writes a different figure, so the entry no longer reflects the net cash movement that the consistency check expects.

The other lines, including the customer entry (168.86), the sales discount (3.28), sales (-163.94) and tax (-4.92, -1.64, -1.64), already matched and are unchanged. The inventory lines 10700 and 50100 show a Source Currency Amount of 0.00 both before and after.
